I think Guardiola has realized that so he also replaces Haaland quite often with another striker in the second half especially when the team is in an advantageous position.

That was Pep trying to keep Haaland as fit as possible for the next game. He basically needs Haaland on most of the game but he knows that sooner or later fatigue might kick in so regularly changing him on field is pretty much needed. Gotta be honest that in their current state, playing without Haaland is probably not going to work out perfectly well in their favour
Pep is already satisfied with his total goals scored so far so substituting him will become a normalcy. Haaland has stolen the heart of the EPL and i am quite sure his goal consistency will add more spectators to Etihad stadium this season. I think Pep has realised Haaland has gotten a celebrity striker attached to his profile hence he needs to keep him fit for more matches ahead

One of the matches I'm looking forward to tomorrow will be brighton-totthenham.
Spurs have to be very careful or else Brighton are going to beat them, there is no doubt about how strong Brighton are this season, just take a look at their position on the table, they are in the top four (fourth position) after 8 games (mind you Brighton have only played 7), to be ahead of 16 teams including quite a lot of top teams isn't an easy feat, i know they'd never finish in the top four, but what they have done thus far deserves an awful amount of credit. I must say Roberto De Zerbi inherited a very strong and compact team from Graham Potters, and it also looks like he also has the same attacking philosophies like his predecessor, because the team never did back down in their last game against Liverpool, which was De Zerbi's first match in charge.

Having said that, Spurs come into this game on the back of a disappointing loss against Arsenal, Conte should work on his philosophies as a manager, a defensive mindset isn't the best, especially when you have quality players like Spurs do, if he continues to sit back in games, he will struggle to win against teams that can hold the ball and move it well.
I don't understand the petition for Haaland, he's a really good player and talented.
The petition is only a joke bro, it is nothing serious.

Manchester City are looking so confident at the moment, all thanks to Erling Haaland who has strengthened the team since he completed his move to City. The problem I perceive now in the team is how much they are dependent on Haaland, I imagine the team will struggle to win games if Haaland happens to be sidelined due to injury or suspension.
I think Guardiola has realized that so he also replaces Haaland quite often with another striker in the second half especially when the team is in an advantageous position. So far, Haaland has contributed 14 from 29 goals scored by Manchester City in 8 Premier League match, so Haaland's goals tally almost equals the accumulated goals of all other Manchester City players so it is very natural that many people think Manchester City are starting to depend on Haaland.

As a striker, it is Haaland's job to score goals. But if in the end Manchester City depend on one player then problems will arise when that player is absent. So far Haaland hasn't missed any Manchester City match, so I don't know if Manchester City will have a hard time winning match without him.
Of course it will be a big concern for Pep Guardiola if Haaland is injured in the middle of this season. because manchester city so far productivity goals have come from haaland and many football watchers say he will be one of the stickers that other teams have to watch out for and hope they don't hurt him during the game. other than that Mahrez, Alvarez haven't been sharp enough so far in the domestic league or in the champions league so even though Manchester City have other strikers in stock when Haaland is absent of course their quality is very far from what Haaland has shown. in the domestic league Haaland will automatically be the top scorer this season because the goal difference with the nearest competitor is very much different.

Liverpool have a really difficult job to do against Arsenal in Emirates. They are playing very different in the Champions League. They have shown a more solid look there but somehow they still can't reflect the same effort on the Premier League. By every week, they are getting further from the top and the current gap is already 11 points. Even if Liverpool win their absent match it'd still be a big gap.

Klopp must find a way to increase the motivation level of their defense line. Because the defensive performance against Brighton was horrible. You just can't concede two goals not much time after the match starts against a weaker team. I don't want to underestimate Brighton considering their great start to the season. The thing I want to underline is that there is a big difference in quality but Liverpool can't show this in the league yet. Against Arsenal, I don't expect a win for Liverpool if they continue to perform badly in defense. The safest option seems like BTTS for betting.

I believe Guordiola will have to change or switch the team tactical formation to false nine or convert one of his midfielders to a striker if Erling Haaland is sidelined with injury, with reference to the list of squad submitted by the club and registered for EPL only three forwards Riyad Mahrez, Erling Haaland and Julián Álvarez were listed of which Haaland is the only center forward others are more or less plays in their wings, the club needed a reserve striker especially an unattach experienced striker on free transfer can be signed to support or assist Haaland in case of any eventuality atleast will club will remain consistent in their performances.
Manchester City do not need a backup striker number 9 so far because Pep Guardiola also seems to play a strategy without a center forward quite often. If indeed Manchester City need a backup for Haaland, then I don't think Jesus should be sold to Arsenal.

Julian Ivarez, who has returned from a loan spell from River Plat this season, seems worthy enough to replace Haaland in his absence. Ivarez is also playing well and he has good goal stats as well every time Guardiola plays him. It's just that Ivarez didn't have enough minutes to prove it as long as Haaland was in good form. Ivarez is also a good centre-forward at the moment in the Manchester City squad.

One of the matches I'm looking forward to tomorrow will be brighton-totthenham. I think it will be one of the decisive matches for the top sides. Brighton in particular have been performing well this year. They got good results at home. They scored 5 goals against a team like Leicester. They managed to score 3 goals away to Liverpool. They really continue to surprise and I wonder if they will be able to win this match as well.

Brighton is insanely good this season and i think they can go really far,they already won against some big opponents plus everyone who plays against them is really struggling. I think Tottenham wont win easily here,if they get a point in this away game they should be really satisfied.

~snip~ They are the champions of the last two years and there are currently no teams that can push them this year apart from Arsenal and Tottenham. I think they have the capacity to continue to dominate the Premier League for a few more years under any circumstance.
Arsenal appeared quite consistent in the competition for the 2022/2023 season.  The Gunners still lead the Premier League standings with 21 points from eight matches.

In the Europa League, Arsenal also lead group A after achieving perfect results in two matches.

English Premier League matches are always the best, no one really becomes the club that dominates the standings, the leader of the standings often alternates.

I guess it might be time for Leicester City to start picking up more points as they will be playing against smaller football clubs in this couple of weeks, even though Bournemouth are currently sitting above Leicester City on the table in the English Premier League but I think there is a high chance for Leicester City to steal 3 points from the hands of Bournemouth in this upcoming match between these two teams.
Their victory last week was the hope of Leicester City's revival in the league, but Bournemouth also can't be underestimated, in fact in terms of standings they are better than Leicester city now, so I don't think it's as easy as you say for Leicerster City to win this match. Moreover, this will be a home game for Bournemouth which they certainly do not want to lose in front of their own supporters. Home games will usually be very influential for those who are more motivated to win in this match.
Honestly Wolves and Leicester are two teams I did not expect to see at the bottom and it is a bit of a shock to me for sure. I am not saying that they will stay there, of course I believe they will recover from that level too, but I really didn't expected them to be at that level at all, I expected them to be at a mid table level to be fair.

In the end, they are going to recover but to what level? I do not see them becoming like a top 6-7 level team anymore, at the very best they would maybe reach to a point where they would win some games and finish the season 9th at the very best case, and that is already bad enough, so it's definitely a problem.

Haaland makes Man City perfect, he is the ideal striker for Man City. With Haaland, Man City can rely on him as machine goal. He already proved it by creating many goals in UCL or EPL competition. Of course, the problem is when Haaland gets injured a long time. But they have Julián Álvarez as the substitution. Although he is still not as strong as Haaland, he is quite well as the substitution. He showed good perfromance and already score 2 goals in 6 appearances. I think he deserves to be Haaland's substitution. Man City should give more minutes for Álvarez to play, so he can continue to improve his performance.

I don't understand the petition for Haaland, he's a really good player and talented. A new messi/ronaldo/ibrahimovic like talent is developing in front of our eyes. I wonder what would have happened if this was done to messi ronaldo or ibrahimovic. The way he plays, the goals he scores are really enjoyable. He is a very different player for sure.

As a football fan, I am extremely pleased with Haaland's performance. I feel lucky to witness the birth of a world star like him, but I know that there are people who do not think like me. :))

If Haaland takes a break from football with an unfortunate injury, of course it won't be good for Manchester City, but they will continue to win because Pep Guardiola has already managed to put the system in his head into the team. They are the champions of the last two years and there are currently no teams that can push them this year apart from Arsenal and Tottenham. I think they have the capacity to continue to dominate the Premier League for a few more years under any circumstance.

Liverpool seem to be performing better outside the English Premier league, they have a much better stat in the Champions league than in the English Premier league, I don’t believe the premier league game against Arsenal in the weekend will have the same faith as the champions league game against Rangers especially playing Arsenal at the Emirates stadium
It is undeniable that Liverpool is a very good team, but they have lost form this season; their match against Arsenal at the Emirates stadium will be a very difficult game, especially since Arsenal is in form and at the top of the Premier League table; they would want to keep the consistency just to maintain their position, and besides, Liverpool are not in good form this season; I just hope they don't resume their form against Arsenal and drop Arsenal to second or third place.
There is no doubt about Liverpool quality as they are still one of the best team in Europe but sadly in Premier League they are not doing good which is serious concern for the team and coach now they are going to face a big challenge from Arsenal which is currently at the top of the league table and having good performance in last few matches their home record is also amazing with this we can expect some bad result for visitors because they are not good to beat them in this match.

Liverpool need a big win which give them good confidence, and they can change fortune with this match as well even hard job but still achievable because they already have good result in last Champions League match against Rangers, and now they can repeat this again but here they need good strategy and better performance.

Arsenal - Liverpool is obviously the main event on this week. Arsenal are in a pretty solid condition in the league now. It was important for them to win against Tottenham and they did it by a solid effort. Maybe the red card was a help also but Tottenham were already not as effective as Arsenal before that too. Arsenal play really different in Emirates. I mean they are more capable of controlling the match without looking at the opponent.

Liverpool are still having defensive issues. Even van Dijk isn't reliable recently. I wonder if Klopp will be able to find a way out. The win over Rangers would be a boost in their morale but I still can't trust them much here. If they can't get better at defending in this one then Arsenal can win this. Besides both teams should be able to find at least one goal easily.

Arsenal is at the top of the table with 7 wins and at the same time, Liverpool is not doing so well. Liverpool only has two wins in 8 matches. That is certainly not ideal for them. Liverpool was supposed to be the team that was going to challenge Manchester City for the English Premier League title.

But right now that does not appear to be the case. And on the other hand, Arsenal is playing really well. It feels like Arsenal is actually shaping up to be the one that may actually give Manchester City a true fight for the title. But it is still too early to say anything because we know how Arsenal can suck in a short period of time. Last season, Arsenal was supposed to be in the top four, but they lost the number four spot in the last match to Tottenham.

I know it is still extremely early in the season, but this game is more important than anyone would think at first glance because it is "only" game day number 8 or 9, respectively. If Liverpool loses this one and Arsenal wins (logically) along with Manchester City, that would make it 13 points in difference between Liverpool and Manchester City. I can't see a realistic scenario where Manchester City loses 5 games during the whole season whereas Liverpool wins every single game until the end of the season. Being behind 13 points against City is almost game over.

I know I sound drastic, but wouldn't you guys agree? Does anyone really expect City to literally fall apart for a couple of weeks while Liverpool doesn't?

Chelsea will easily secure a win against Wolves. Because Chelsea are in much better form than them and Chelsea have good quality players in their team. I expect Chelsea to win 3-0. Their victory with this small team will show motivation for the next games
Wolves are in the relegation zone, of course, it will be more profitable for Chelsea. Chelsea certainly wants to eliminate Brighton from the top 4 of the current standings. 3 points in that game will be important for Chelsea. especially positive results after the match against Milan. Of course, Chelsea has the motivation to get a big win from the Wolves.
I will bet on Chelsea's win.
Yeah, a good chance for Chelsea to have fourth spot in Premier League table because currently Wolves is badly down and out with no luck working for them as well because their record against Chelsea has never been bad which is surely interested but with current form we can expect a good win for Chelsea and Brighton which is going to host Tottenham is also very interesting match where Tottenham surely looking for win after losing a match against Arsenal this could be good opportunity for both English clubs to have their best chance for staying into top four.

After last win against AC Milan in Champions League match there is fair chance for them to destroy Wolves with their quality and skills because now time for them to have good results after some bad time which give them good shocks and lost of their coach.

I also had the same concerns but I think City has lot of quality in their squad. They have good wingers like Foden and Mahrez who can score goals and then they have players like KDB, Gundo and Silva who can also go up the field and score goals. Also they have Alvarez who is a good striker of the ball as well so I think they have taken quite some things on note before actually going for it. I think they are gonna do fine even if Haaland gets injured as they have lot of goalscorers still.
